I love the idea .. how you changed an important issue into a game and probably that would bring awareness. I am not an expert but such decisions probably affect a lot of people and no one spend time and learn about it. This is a fun way to learn. Thank you !!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I think I did not understand this game well. May I suggest adding a few introductory levels of increasing difficulty for beginners.
realmofthemad•39m ago
I'm sorry you've found it a bit difficult to pick up! There is an introduction below the game, but it can still be a bit hard to follow since it's all text. I'll see about adding an additional, optional, interactive tutorial.

I won't let me complete the final district (YRBY+" "s) in today's puzzle. (firefox/linux) If I try to do it earlier it auto includes unwanted cells.
realmofthemad•36m ago
I'm not sure I understand what you mean, would you mind sending over a screenshot or video of where you are stuck?

This felt very satisfying to win! (Day 39) I'll try to remember to keep coming back.

I think what made me quite confused at the start is mis-reading the instructions that every district could have no more than four houses; I thought I had to split the land into equal areas. Once I understood that, the solution felt much easier.

very basic issue, its not clear to me how to start a new district, it just extends the old one. I managed to do it accidentally a couple times, but I don't know how

I could see this being a great activity in a high school civics class. Very creative. One rule that tripped me up is:

> If two parties tie in a district, nobody wins it.

This isn't realistic as ties don't happen in practice in elections, and some party will end up representing it. But the spirit of the gerrymandering concept is conveyed well enough.

realmofthemad•11m ago
Yes indeed, not super realistic, since it would never happen. but it does make for a more fun puzzle :)
